PULWAMA, PEACE AND PAKISTAN --- A BRIDGE TOO FAR, INDEED

PULWAMA, PEACE AND PAKISTAN --- A BRIDGE TOO FAR, INDEED

How gullible are we that so many of us still talk of peace with Pakistan when its forces continue to do heavy shelling across the LoC which costs us precious lives every day ! Do we as a nation suffer from chronic amnesia? Has Pulwama been so fast forgotten in the wake of the festivities indulged in by the citizens on the release of Wing Commander Abhindandan Varthaman from Pak custody? Is this the due display of nationalism, now sorrowful and now rejoicing in alternate expression of frothy emotion that strikes no root in the national consciousness? Are we that shallow as a people?
